The Cleveland Indians made the playoffs last year, tying for fifth in runs scored along the way. Yet, in fantasy circles, there's only one real star (Jason Kipnis) and one near-star (Carlos Santana) in the Indians' lineup.

The pitching staff doesn't have any guys who will go in the first dozen rounds of fantasy drafts, and the current favorite for saves is John Axford.

By being solid at virtually every position, including every spot in the rotation. You can tab any of Cleveland's starting nine and their starters as “sleepers,” as all are talented and none will be overly sought after in the early rounds (outside of Kipnis and maybe Santana). But the middle and late rounds is where the Indians will shine, with almost every starter offering value. Catcher Yan Gomes (whom we wrote about earlier this offseason) and pitcher Danny Salazar are the most notable sleeper candidates, but another hurler might provide even more bang for your buck.

Corey Kluber isn't your typical sleeper. He's 27 and has a career 4.42/1.41 line in the minors. But in his first full major league season last year, Kluber posted a 3.85/1.26 line with an 8.31 K/9 ratio. His 3.30 FIP and 3.10 xFIP suggest he was even better than his standard numbers indicate.

The big reason for his "breakout" was his noticeably improved BB-rate (2.02). His career minor league mark of 3.6 is what really held him back. If the improvement is legit – which seems likely since he had just a 2.57 BB-rate in his 12 starts in '12 – then Kluber should continue to improve this year.

He doesn't have the upside of Salazar and might not be as steady as Justin Masterson, but Kluber looks like a Derek Holland knockoff that could be had at a very affordable price due to lack of name value.

Don't let him – or the rest of Cleveland's sleeper-filled team – pass you by on draft day.
